insert_drive_file Product Specifications

Description

The L500S is a low-cost, single or multiple level float switch designed for adjustable level monitoring or leak detection within storage tanks, sumps and wells. The vertically-mounted L500S is suspended by an electrical cable to the desired switch position inside the tank while an integral weight maintains the correct orientation and removes slack from the cable. A compression fitting is used to secure the cable in place and forms a leak-tight seal around the electrical components. The L500S is available in PVC, brass/buna and stainless steel materials. Additional options include various switch points and special configurations.

Principles of Operation

While the sensor is suspended and secured inside the tank at the intended switch level(s), a magnet within the float travels with the tank's liquid level. As the float rises and falls, the magnetic field passes the switch and results in a state change. LEARN MORE ABOUT FLOAT LEVEL SWITCHES >
